1 In the beginning God {After 'God,' the Hebrew has the two letters 'Aleph Tav' (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet) as a grammatical marker.} created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.
4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.
